Esteemed Delegates and Industry Colleagues,
On behalf of the Vice-President of AIO, Mrs Patty Karuaihe-Martin, the organising committee, the entire Namibian Insurance Industry, we welcome you to the 50th AIO conference in our beautiful nation of Namibia.
AIO marks its significant 50th assembly in Namibia from the 1st of June to the 5th of June 2024 in our capital, the City of Windhoek. The theme of the 50th AIO conference is “Coping with rising natural catastrophe in Africa”. We look forward to hosting such a distinguished gathering focused on the evolution of the African insurance industry and dealing with the challenges we face with climate change.
Our country is graced with breath-taking landscapes and contrasting natural beauty. Be rest assured that Namibia will give you the desert experience with our enormous dunes, the earth’s valley experience with our amazing canyons and the safari experience with our abundance of wildlife. Namibia’s embrace extends beyond our landscapes; it encompasses the spirit of collaboration and the bravery that defines our people.
As we mark the half-century of the AIO conference, we believe we will catalyse change and uncover the solutions that will redefine the insurance landscape across our continent. The challenges before us are matched only by the opportunities they present. We look forward to harnessing our collective wisdom and diverse perspectives to transform these challenges into stepping-stones for growth and innovation to make Africa leapfrog.
Thank you for gracing us with your presence. May our time together be marked not just by the thought-provoking discussions but by the seeds of partnerships that will drive the African journey to new heights.
Warm regards,
Mr. Tassius Chigariro
Co-Chairman of the LOC
